Congress, III order to maintain the
equilibrium of business in this country,
| should tinker with neither the tariff nor
railroads of the country said Jay Cooke,
| the veteran fnancier, at the mon depot
this morning. 1.-The iron business is the
basis of our national prosperity. Iron, in
its various products, ramities the whole
| business system of this country. 1t is the
barometer that regulates our prosperity
What we need is permanency-S bmething
upon which we can do a present business
and MAKE business calculations. After
the tariff came this Interstate commerce
bill to dcrar. sc everything. do not I'M
derstaud it. and do not think any one
else does. 1t is a mystery and misch ief-
maker. This is a wonderful country of
ours. but it is sill making infantile strug
young as we are, we are amply abls to
| take care of ourselves. Oar financial con-
| ditlon is excellent. and always will be
In spite of politicians and legislators our
finances will remain good. Oar resources
are infinite and our energy interchangeable.
| Nothing can Staguate us for any cDnSId-
erable length ni time. We are Young and
| strong, and vigorous and hopeful, ard
| present LOSSES are but torcruunerS of iu-
| tire gains. The tendency however. is to
| ovcrdo things, this is the natural out
| growth of this national energy and super
| fluffy oi material. | have been in bust
| ness for fifty years in Philadelphia and
have seen twenty or thirty panlcs and as
many seasons ot business depression, but
the recuperatiOnS were always cut of prt
portion to the plnics and depressions
| We invariably came cut wcdlthier and
stronger than before. The future will be
but repetition 0: the past, and it is all
the inevitable result OF our peculiar con-
| ditions.
Colonel J. G. Fuller and myself have

have been up till recently able to make
pig iron at "a profit, but this Interstate
mystery has stopped that profit. Again
say it is a mischief maker"
Lately" continued Mr. Cooke, Il

there for four weeks every spring and for
six weeks every fall. aud am more sue

especially in the matter of bass fishing.

oopperheads do not care to express
any preference for the Presidential nomi-

man are good men; indeed, thev are the
very best i'll the country. While Mr..
| Cleveland has done this country no good
| he has not done it very much harm What
we want to do is to let the tariff and rail
roads alone, not pander to labor and keep
away from demagogic measures
